Sample
Functions of the BarkPaws Telegram bot functionalities, handling of commands, integrating with external APIs for real-time data, error handling and user experience.
Step 1: Install Additional Dependencies
We'll need a few more dependencies for additional features like multi-language support and enhanced security.
npm install i18next i18next-node-fs-backend i18next-http-middleware dotenvStep 2: Setup Environment Variables
Create a .env file to store sensitive data such as the Telegram bot token and MongoDB URI.
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=bark_telegram_bot_token
MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/barkpawsStep 3: Bot Sample Code
The version of the bot with added functionalities:
require('dotenv').config();
const TelegramBot = require('node-telegram-bot-api');
const express = require('express');
const axios = require('axios');
const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');
const i18next = require('i18next');
const i18nextMiddleware = require('i18next-http-middleware');
const Backend = require('i18next-node-fs-backend');
i18next.use(Backend).use(i18nextMiddleware.LanguageDetector).init({
backend: {
loadPath: './locales/{{lng}}/translation.json',
},
fallbackLng: 'en',
preload: ['en', 'es', 'fr'], // Add more languages as needed
detection: {
order: ['querystring', 'cookie'],
caches: ['cookie'],
}
});
// Replace 'BARK_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN' with the token you get from BotFather
const token = process.env.TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN;
const bot = new TelegramBot(token, { polling: true });
// MongoDB setup
const mongoUri = process.env.MONGO_URI;
const client = new MongoClient(mongoUri, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true });
let db;
client.connect(err => {
if (err) {
console.error('Failed to connect to MongoDB', err);
process.exit(1);
}
db = client.db('barkpaws');
console.log('Connected to MongoDB');
});
// Express setup for webhooks or other endpoints if needed
const app = express();
app.use(i18nextMiddleware.handle(i18next));
app.use(express.json());
// Define bot commands and responses
bot.onText(/\/start/, (msg) => {
const chatId = msg.chat.id;
const lang = msg.from.language_code;
i18next.changeLanguage(lang);
bot.sendMessage(chatId, i18next.t('welcome_message'), {
reply_markup: {
inline_keyboard: [
[{ text: i18next.t('initiate_swap'), callback_data: 'swap' }],
[{ text: i18next.t('monitor_trade'), callback_data: 'status' }],
[{ text: i18next.t('support'), callback_data: 'support' }],
[{ text: i18next.t('settings'), callback_data: 'settings' }],
[{ text: i18next.t('resources'), callback_data: 'resources' }],
[{ text: i18next.t('stake_tokens'), callback_data: 'stake' }],
[{ text: i18next.t('governance'), callback_data: 'governance' }]
]
}
});
});
bot.on('callback_query', async (query) => {
const chatId = query.message.chat.id;
const data = query.data;
if (data === 'swap') {
await handleTokenSwap(chatId);
} else if (data === 'status') {
await handleTradeStatus(chatId);
} else if (data === 'support') {
bot.sendMessage(chatId, i18next.t('support_message'));
} else if (data === 'settings') {
bot.sendMessage(chatId, i18next.t('settings_message'));
} else if (data === 'resources') {
bot.sendMessage(chatId, i18next.t('resources_message'));
} else if (data === 'stake') {
bot.sendMessage(chatId, i18next.t('stake_message'));
} else if (data === 'governance') {
bot.sendMessage(chatId, i18next.t('governance_message'));
}
});
async function handleTokenSwap(chatId) {
bot.sendMessage(chatId, i18next.t('swap_prompt'))
.then(() => {
bot.once('message', async (msg) => {
const details = msg.text.split(' ');
const tokenFrom = details[0];
const tokenTo = details[1];
const amount = details[2];
const walletAddress = details[3];
try {
// Placeholder for actual swap logic
const response = await axios.post('https://api.solana.swap', { tokenFrom, tokenTo, amount, walletAddress });
bot.sendMessage(chatId, i18next.t('swap_success', { txId: response.data.txId }));
} catch (error) {
bot.sendMessage(chatId, i18next.t('swap_failure', { error: error.message }));
}
});
});
}
async function handleTradeStatus(chatId) {
bot.sendMessage(chatId, i18next.t('status_prompt'))
.then(() => {
bot.once('message', async (msg) => {
const tradeId = msg.text;
try {
// Placeholder for actual status check logic
const response = await axios.get(`https://api.solana.trade/status/${tradeId}`);
bot.sendMessage(chatId, i18next.t('status_success', { status: response.data.status }));
} catch (error) {
bot.sendMessage(chatId, i18next.t('status_failure', { error: error.message }));
}
});
});
}
// Start the Express server
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(`Server is running on port ${PORT}`);
});Step 4: Creating Localization Files
Create a locales folder with subfolders for each language, such as en, es, fr, etc. Inside each folder, create a translation.json file with the necessary translations.
For example, locales/en/translation.json:
{
"welcome_message": "Welcome to BarkPaws Bot! How can we assist you today?",
"initiate_swap": "Initiate Token Swap",
"monitor_trade": "Monitor Trade Status",
"support": "Support",
"settings": "Settings",
"resources": "Educational Resources",
"stake_tokens": "Stake BARK Tokens",
"governance": "Governance",
"swap_prompt": "Please provide the following details to initiate a token swap:\n1. Token to Swap From\n2. Token to Swap To\n3. Amount\n4. Confirm Wallet Address",
"swap_success": "Swap initiated successfully. Transaction ID: {{txId}}",
"swap_failure": "Failed to initiate swap: {{error}}",
"status_prompt": "Please enter your Trade ID to check the status:",
"status_success": "Trade status: {{status}}",
"status_failure": "Failed to check trade status: {{error}}",
"support_message": "How can we assist you? Please describe your issue, and our support team will get back to you shortly.",
"settings_message": "Settings:\n- Change Language\n- Notification Preferences\n- Security Settings",
"resources_message": "Choose a topic to learn more:\n- How to Use BarkPaws Bot\n- Understanding DeFi\n- FAQs",
"stake_message": "Enter the amount of BARK Tokens you want to stake:",
"governance_message": "View current proposals and vote using your BARK Tokens."
}Step 5: Running the Bot
Run the bot:
node bot.js
Enhancements and Testing
Error Handling: Proper error messages and handling for invalid inputs and API failures.
Localization: Multi-language support using
i18next.User Experience: Improved user prompts and flow handling.
Security: Environment variables to securely store sensitive information.
This code provides a robust foundation for the BarkPaws Telegram bot, enhancing functionality and user experience. Test each functionality thoroughly to ensure smooth operation.
